What are you doing (ingame) now?

Supporting the Sirius CG a bit by exploring some of the laces fro this list

Gives a nice variation from the trading.

Heading for Vaka as soon as I got rid off those merit thingies for A L-D and changed into my Imperial Courier again.

Edit What?!? I just was in a sytem to hand in Corruption reports to ANUM, did that, jumped back only to see that I had only sold 25 instead of 65! Heading back to Anum again. Most annoying "Do the journey again"-bug?

Just rigged a type 6 for mining. Thought I'd try something other than res sitez

Er ... I just flew RIGHT THROUGH a station when exiting supercruise ... wow.

[SepticLimey]

Somewhere in the Coalsack sector, scanning what feels like my billionth 'Icy Planet'. Oh damn, hang on. I just overshot.

Okay. Yep. Still swimming through the Black looking for that ever-illusive undiscovered 'Earth-Like World'. Thinking of heading for home. It's only a few hundred light years away...

Still poodling around Lave......Trying to up my Alliance rep....

Taking pirate kill missions......Trade missions and loading up on rares.....

Today I've been in BD+3 353 1A resolving conflicts between the federation and system resistance.

i've been doing a kill circuit around LFT 926, Nuenets, V886 Centauri, ER8, Gnowee and LHS 332 - stacking missions and running them in a similar way that you'd run a trade route - it's quite common to have 3 or 4 missions for the same target system, each paying typically from 300k to 900k. (2.5mil is the highest i've seen so far)

e.g. ER8 wants me to kill 10 pirates in Nuenets for 350k, LFT 926 wants me to kill 15 pirates in Nuenets for 700k, V886 Centauri wants 8 in Nuenets killed for 500k... and so on. then i travel to Nuenets, kill 15 pirates and satisfy all of those missions in one go. as i visit each system i'm killing pirates, collecting my bounties, and taking on new missions for the other systems.

the end result is that the money equals or betters the old 1.2 RES-farming income but the total number of pirate kills is far lower. that seems to be the way bounty hunting works now under 1.3

You getting the pirates at navigation beacon then, or frame shift?

I've found that for many pirate kill missions, the wanted ships at Nav Beacons don't count as mission targets. I've either had to find a RES in the mission system, or cruise around looking for Signal Sources/interdicting people.
